Can I have some then?

These are shots of Nik in action at the airfield using PF97 pads...

My original wheels are now almost permanently anthracite from the brake dust so who cares LOL

From what you've said, they need bleeding.

Nice one Dan. Can't wait for a go in this at the Airfield.

Ignore the fading. That's not a problem. You've got no pedal pressure? The pedal is going right to the floor? If that's so, you have no brakes.

^^^ no fogs, good.

Sounds like they needs bleeding. Get it done ASAP. It's unsafe until you do.

Actually they're not too bad during normal driving. On my commute they're silent, I barely use the brakes and the pads and the discs don't really bite together with light pressure. Once I do a few stops though, they're in. They work fine, but respond very well to heating. High speed, firm...

White wheels look lush. Here's my dirt bucket

Correct, pause, recover. There's always the slightest of pauses, and as soon as you feel that you've got to get the lock back off quickly. Doing it too slowly or too late means it goes the other way.

I travel down a lot of narrow tree-lined unlit country roads, and on my way home tonight I noticed a flash (quick like a camera flash but not as bright) out of the drivers window everytime I came off the brakes. So I wound the window down, stuck my head out, and did a few hard stops - I was...

You can do it at any speed...speed is irrelevant. It's all in the weight transfer, pitch it in on the brakes and it'll be hanging in the breeze.

That would make good YouTube material though. I'll stick to some solid Chep pallets I think. Added bonus is it'll all be colour coded for the video then. Seems quite light...stripped?

Would you like me to - I'm sure I could do a time-lapse for YouTube? I'll get pics as well so don't you worry.

Tried a weighbridge, it gave erroneous results - no way my car weighs 1,240 kgs. Can't be bothered with trying to find another weighbridge. I walk past our weighing pallet truck 20 times a day, and I've got stacks of pallets at my disposal - plus a couple of warehouse bodies to help me do the...

I've struggled up against a Compressor in a straight line before. No contest when it came to braking and entering though.

Nah, I'm going to bring my trolley jack in and have a go with it propped up on pallets. That has to work. If it didn't, no-one would pay £800 + VAT for a set of these - which is in effect what I'm replicating.

I can't say I ever 'feel' it pick up or drop back down again. I know it does it all the time though from Chris' pics.

Interesting thoughts. I'm going to give it a go. If all 4 corners add up to anything close to 980 kgs then it works. I'm hopeful for 950 though - might have to lose a door card next.

Exactly. This thing is calibrated to the nearest kilo, and weighs in 100g increments.

Eh? I'm letting each tyre back down onto the pump truck using my trolley jack and the usual jacking points each time...the tyre's the only bit in contact with the truck.

:cool: I tried the weighbridge thing, but it said it weighed 1,240 kgs.

How about if I jack up each corner and drop it onto a pallet. Then one by one, took a pallet out of each corner, before putting it back on the pump track up at the same height as the other 3 pallets before reading the weight? That would work wouldn't it?

I've got one at work with 1,000 kgs limit. If I jacked up my car then let it down with one wheel on the pallet truck, and did that for all four corners then added up the results...would I have an accurate total car weight? I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work. But I still don't...

Click in the text entry box and it opens up the drop down list of previously used entries. Then use your cursor keys to move down through the list to the one you want rid of. Hit delete. Hey presto, your embarrassing search for ladyboys is gone, but the rest of the list and your internet...

It still makes it go left and right Ralph, and I've been driving wearing gloves for about the last twelve months so it doesn't feel too bad at all.

:(

That makes me sick to the pit of my stomach.

You're very lucky. Yours must have been from the one single good batch they had.
